Now, of course, this is reality and real horses don’t work that way. It was definitely an in-joke for fans of the games to have Roach do the same things in the show. In the game, you could have Roach do the following: fly, do push-ups, buck Geralt off and they both freeze in midair, and so much more. Let’s be clear, The Witcher games, while having a great story, were famous for their strange mechanics and glitches. Nothing like a guy and his animal of choice, are we right? Well, in the games, Roach is famous for his weird glitches. Geralt’s horse Roach is one of his constant companions, which is sweet. Let’s start off with something a little silly. Here are the five biggest differences to keep in mind. For those of you who haven’t read the books or played the games (or watched the TV show), then we have your back. It’s a whole mishmash going on here, folks. The Witcher show will have a difference from both. The Witcher books will be a little different from The Witcher video games. The Witcher, first a series of novels then a series of video games now a television series, means that things tend to translate differently. We may not have coins to toss to Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), but we do have something to toss for new Witcher fans.
“Toss a coin to your witcher/Oh valley of plenty” is how the absolute bop goes in Netflix’s The Witcher.
